If only your great-grandmother could see this neighborhood now! The L.E.S. has become H-I-P, boasting a booming late-night music scene and some of the city’s trendiest restaurants on Clinton Street, which has emerged as a Downtown Restaurant Row. Spectacular views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges add to the ambience, and sometimes even non-tourists have been known to enjoy the sights and sounds of South Street Seaport.
